CHICAGO'S CONVICTS.
They Have Not Yet Resigned Their Positions
as Oficials-The Motion for New Trial.

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-During the morning most
of the convicted boodlers occupied themselves in

were thus engaged, Commissioner Leiden, who
had been allowed to spend the night at home in
charge of two deputies, was brought in. His
wife and unborn infant at deaths door.
This afternoon States attorney Grinnell
called up the motion for a new trial. In doing
SO, he stated that they had not yet had the
decency to hand in their designations, and
he demanded it be done at once. It that

Commissioners Miller Promises Interesting
Facts Concerning Oleomargarine.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 6.-Considerable space
will be devoted to the subject of Oleomargarne
in the annual report of the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue for the fiscal year just ended.
The names of all the oleomargarine manufactur-
will be given, we'll as the amount produced
by each. The number of pounds of oleomarga-
rine exported will also be given. There
will also be contained in the
report a description of the tests used to
detect oleomargarine There many i'm
provements to be made in the method of
inspecting oleomargarne products. The chem
lists of the bureau are now endeavoring to dis
cover some means whereby the inspectors can
tell to a greater degree of certainty than at pres
emit the difference between butter and its various
manufactured limitations. In the short time
that the oleomargarine tax has been
in force many important steps have
been taken toward improvement of the meta
DDS at first adopted to detect spurious butter
compounds. great saving of time and labor
has been accomplished by the establishment of a
laboratory in Chicago, the center of oleomar

to have sufficient data for a very interesting
port on oleomargarine and kindred products

How This Pretty Little Woman Looks When

London Letter in Philadelphia Press.
When one has lived for many months in sight
of the arstocratic portals of St. Georges, Han

wend their way therein, out learn to look with
calm complacency upon the very brides them

godmother l hurried over and gave the COM
municatiye old woman an extra shilling for her
information and my own good seat.
Presently the royal party arrive and take
their positions near the font. The Princess,

A UNIQUE CoURr-MARrIAL.

Trying n Traitor in Libby Prison-why the
Verdict Was Not Executed.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. Aug. 5.-Next Monday will be
the anniversary OF one OF the most remarkable
military trials recorded in this or any other
country. Twentyfour years ago there
imprisoned in the old tobacco warehouse in
Richmond, known as Libby prison, a party of
United States officers. Some were of the regu-
lar service some of the volunteer army. Among
them was General Straight, an Indianian. At
that time he had planned wholesale escape
from the prison, the capture Of the guard and the
battery outside the walls. and the subse-
1uent release OF the prisoners on Belle
Isle. just the river. The plan
further contemplated the burning of Rich
mond and the Staying Of the officials of the con-
federate government. There were but nine Off
GERS in the plot and the prospects were that it
would be successful But one of the officers
betrayed the scheme and the plot was nipped in
the bud. The traitor known and Straight
insisted that he should be tried by court-mar-
tial composed of tae regular officers in the
prison. The court organized in regular
form. During the entire proceedings, which
lasted but few minutes, Straight busy
making n rope out of some pieces of calico.
When verdict had been decided upon he said
"Gentlemen. you have found the prisoner
guilty, and OF course there be but one
sentence, bnhb Oh 0e6Ln. i Will execute the
sentence"
Among the party was an officer of one of the
cavalry regiments named Louis Thompson. He
said that while the accused undoubtedly
guilty, the court was not legal one and that it
could not enforce it's sentences IF the traitor
was hanged his executioners would be guilty of
murder. He proposed that the record Of the
court should be kept until one of the party es-
caped, when it should be sent on to Washington.
He would not allow the man be hanged and
would sit up all night with him to protect him
II necessary. Straight was determined that the
sentence or the court should be carried out. and
swore that he would hang the villain
down the hatchway. But Thompson
sat by his side all night and
saved his life. The following dav
ne was removed from the quarters which he had
occupied and shortly afterwards he was re-
leased. The record of the court was subse-
quently forwarded TO Washington, and Secre-
tary Stanton caused him to be dismissed from
the service. He was afterwards restored by
Andrew Johnson, and Ia said to be still in the
service. Those who know of the incident will
not tell his name Thompson was killed in one
of Clusters Indian campaigns. The only other
of the party who is known to be still in the
8ervice is cavalry officer named Hamilton,
who is on a frontier post.

The Smart Boston Saleswoman.

One of the visitors to prominent Boston mil

who evidently seeking an article of head
gear that was both neat and cheap, but who,
thinking il would be derogatory to her dignity to
state exactly what she desired, consumed the
time and patience of the saleswoman by. her in
spection of nearly every hat bonnet in the
place. She had one invariable comment as she
returned each article to the saleswoman, and
that was that it was too decided" whatever
that might be. At length she said, with an air
tellieible phraseology, What / would like to
see is one of those nondescript nothines-you
know what I mean" The saleswoman had not
